The next time someone suggests, tongue in cheek or not, that more African Americans need to walk around with guns......remember this story. The "gun" was a cellphone this time. It has been a wallet in other incidents. The rules are always different for us. That's just how the country was founded. Sadly, it continues to be the modus operandi.

(3,216 posts)That makes it a justifiable shooting in some people's eyes. Because who could tell a toy gun from a real one in a few seconds. Which is why there are a lot of people that shouldn't be police.
